Cm                 /G G#
In an upstairs room, under lock and key

It's my brother, Former Lee
Cm                    /G G#
All the mops and brooms keep him company

Misconceived of the family

No dreams go in, no dreams go out of the hole in his wrinkled head

Former Lee Warmer


When I hear him play in his twised key
That's the way he calls to me
On a silver tray, I keep the master key
                                 G7
In every way, he depends on me 

Cm                G7   
Former Lee Warmer, an old smoking jacket – holes in his satin sleeves
Cm                  G7     Cm  G7  G#  Cm G7 Cm  Asus4 B E
Candle lit puddles, arthritic fingers, yellow stained ivory keys 

Solo: E        B  F# F E    Fm G#m Bb B  D#

In an upstairs room under lock and key
It's my brother, Former Lee
And after all these years, I've never heard him speak
                                G7
I wonder what he thinks of me 

D#          D  C   F#
Former Lee Warmer peeks out the window
Fm                     D#
When he feels really brave
D#          D  C   Am
Former Lee Warmer waves at his father
G#                  G7  Bb  D#    B
Out in the family grave 

Cm                         /G G#
He's flesh and blood to me
Cm                   /G G#
I love him brotherly
Cm                   Bb  D#
But, I don't want to be Former Lee
